MY STORY
I WAS SLEEPING IN AN RV, DOING NIGHTLY SECURITY TO PAY THE RENT.
I started from scratch first out of college. Having graduated in marketing, the college world told me I was ready for the work force.
But, the corporate world told me I didn't have experience.
So, in order to pay the bills, my new wife and I worked for a local RV company.

So, in order to pay the bills, my new wife and I worked for a local RV company.
We slept in an RV at night, getting up every hour to walk the property doing security checks, as the company had several RV's recently broken into overnight.
It was during this cold, winter job at the RV dealership, that I realized if I wanted to make great money for myself and my family, it wasn't going to come by relying on my college education, but by my own efforts, testing things in the real world.

LET THE CORPORATE GAMES BEGIN.
To get exposure and experience, I overbooked myself with unpaid and minimal pay internships. To avoid starting a career in something I didn't want to do, I got 3 full-time internships, in different areas of marketing.
Eventually after hustling and grinding my way to a half-decent resumé, I got my first job with a start-up energy drink company. Doing PR and copywriting for the company, I loved my first real job, and loved the people I worked with.
Then 6 months into it, we found out the CEO had been embezzling millions of dollars and falsifying sales numbers to investors and the company went bankrupt overnight.

Over the next couple years, I had my first exposure to online marketing, involving affiliate marketing, graphic design, social media, web development and influencer marketing.
I HAD TO SCRATCH MY OWN ITCH.
While building my resumé for the corporate world, I began to notice an annoying trend. From company to company, there were policies that seemed to always get in the way of achieving incredible success online.
Whether it was the idea to start a podcast, run ads on Facebook or market the brand through influencers, I hit roadblocks of red tape, approvals and bureaucracy limiting what I knew could bring about massive success for different companies I worked for.
So, in a burning desire to scratch my own itch, and if nothing else to prove to myself that I knew what I was talking about, I started my own company.
I STARTED MY OWN COMPANY, WHICH I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT.
Now two years down the road, I have found my true passion in social media and funnel marketing, both for my own businesses and for clients.
To date, I am the sole owner of Social Bacon, working to provide leads and sales for national and local businesses through Facebook advertising and funnel marketing.
While I am continually working to build my business, I have more business than I could dream of and I call the shots for my business and for those clients I choose to serve.
